What double fire doors in Yeovil should include
We provide double fire doors in Yeovil (BA20 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Fire doors in Yeovil protect escape routes in houses with integral garages, low-rise blocks of flats and schools alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Double doors on wards, school corridors and lobbies in Yeovil take heavy use, so closing sequence and meeting-edge seals get extra attention. Every pair we fit in Yeovil is commissioned so both leaves close in the right order and latch.
Hold-opens and escape
Pairs on corridors are often held open in daily use, with hold-open devices releasing both leaves when the alarm sounds. Where a pair is on an escape route used by the public, the escape hardware and the direction of opening also need to suit the fire strategy.
What you get:
- Flush bolts and hold-opens within evidence
- Equal pair or leaf-and-a-half doorsets
- Door coordinators where meeting edges are rebated
- Closers matched to each leaf
Rules and responsibilities in Yeovil
The rules that apply to fire doors in Yeovil are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.
Where a Yeovil block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.
Which buildings in Yeovil need double fire doors?
Landlords, managing agents, facilities teams and homeowners in Yeovil can all commission double fire doors from us. The usual settings are schools and hospitals and clinics, though single doors for communal corridors are just as welcome.

Common questions
Is Yeovil within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Yeovil in Somerset and neighbouring towns such as Bridgwater. There is no charge for the survey.
What happens on a survey in Yeovil?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
Can double fire doors be held open?
Yes, with hold-open devices that release on the fire alarm, or with free-swing closers. Wedges and hooks are not acceptable.
What does a door coordinator do?
It holds the leaf that must close second until the first leaf has shut, so rebated meeting edges close in the right order and both leaves latch. Without it, the pair can end up open or misaligned.
